Company Description
Minera Alamos Inc. (MAIFF) is a gold production and development company focused on precious metals projects in North America. The company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol MAI and trades over-the-counter in the United States under the symbol MAIFF. Its activities center on owning and operating gold mines and advancing a portfolio of development-stage and permitted projects.
According to company disclosures, Minera Alamos owns and operates the Pan Operating Complex in Nevada, a heap leach gold operation that includes the Pan heap leach gold mine, the adjacent fully permitted Gold Rock development project, and the nearby past-producing Illipah project. The Pan mine is described as a producing gold operation in east-central Nevada, mined using conventional open-pit methods with gold recovered through heap leaching. The company reports that Pan has been in continuous production since 2017 and has produced over 335,000 ounces of gold to date.
Minera Alamos states that it is a North American gold production and development company with a strategy to develop low capital expenditure gold assets while expanding project resources and pursuing complementary strategic acquisitions. The company emphasizes that its operating team has brought three open pit heap leach gold mines into successful production in Mexico over a period of approximately 14 years. This experience underpins its approach to advancing both producing and development-stage assets.
Core Assets and Projects
The company’s asset base includes producing, development, and advanced exploration projects:
- Pan Operating Complex (Nevada, USA) – Described as a producing gold operation and a key cash-flow generating asset for Minera Alamos. It includes the Pan heap leach gold mine, the fully permitted Gold Rock project, and the past-producing Illipah project, all located in White Pine County, Nevada.
- Copperstone Mine (Arizona, USA) – Minera Alamos owns the Copperstone mine and associated infrastructure in La Paz County, Arizona. The company characterizes Copperstone as an advanced development asset with a permitted Mine Plan of Operations (MPO). A National Instrument 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) has been completed for Copperstone, and the company has discussed preparing updated technical studies and pursuing a restart of operations, subject to permitting and corporate decisions.
- Mexican Asset Portfolio – The company maintains a portfolio of 100%-owned gold projects in Mexico. These include the Santana open-pit, heap-leach mine in Sonora; the Cerro de Oro oxide gold project in northern Zacatecas, which has past drilling and metallurgical work completed and is being guided through the permitting process; and the La Fortuna open pit gold project in Durango, which has a positive PEA completed and main federal permits in place.
Across these assets, Minera Alamos describes itself as focused on gold production and development, with the Pan Operating Complex providing operating cash flow and the Copperstone and Mexican projects forming a pipeline of development opportunities.
Pan Operating Complex and Gold Production
Minera Alamos reports that it completed the acquisition of the Pan Gold Mine, Gold Rock project, and Illipah project from Equinox Gold Corp. on October 1, 2025. Following this transaction, the company highlights Pan as a producing mine that contributes gold production and cash flow. In subsequent disclosures, Minera Alamos has referred to the Pan Operating Complex as its cash flow engine and as a platform for growth in gold production.
The company has also discussed production guidance and operating cost metrics for the Pan mine, including all-in sustaining costs (AISC) and cash costs per ounce, and has provided definitions of these non-IFRS measures in its public communications. These measures are used by the company to describe operating performance and cost structure at the Pan mine, although they are not standardized under IFRS.
Copperstone Mine Development
Minera Alamos describes the Copperstone mine in Arizona as a 100%-owned gold project with a permitted plan of operations. A NI 43-101 compliant PEA has been completed, which includes a resource estimate and economic analysis based on certain gold price assumptions. The company has reported ongoing permitting work, including amendments to the Mine Plan of Operations and other site permits, and has discussed engineering and development activities aimed at a potential restart of underground mining and process plant operations.
In its technical and corporate updates, the company notes that Copperstone is interpreted as an iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) style deposit hosted by a shallowly dipping fault zone, with underground resource areas that appear open along strike and at depth. Minera Alamos has indicated that it is evaluating engineering options, process plant configuration, and the use of existing equipment to support a potential restart, alongside exploration programs intended to test extensions of mineralization.
Mexican Projects and Permitting
Minera Alamos’ Mexican portfolio consists of several 100%-owned gold projects at different stages of advancement:
- Santana (Sonora) – Described as an open-pit, heap-leach mine. Company disclosures state that operations at the Nicho Main deposit have been in a start-up phase in earlier communications, and Santana is part of the company’s portfolio of high-quality Mexican assets.
- Cerro de Oro (Zacatecas) – An oxide gold project in northern Zacatecas with considerable past drilling and metallurgical work completed. The company notes that the proposed mining project is being guided through the permitting process by its permitting consultants and that engineering work continues to advance pre-development activities.
- La Fortuna (Durango) – An open pit gold project with a positive PEA and main federal permits in place. The company highlights La Fortuna as another 100%-owned project in its development pipeline.
Across these projects, Minera Alamos emphasizes a strategy of advancing low-capex gold assets, expanding resources, and aligning engineering and permitting work with potential construction decisions, subject to regulatory approvals and financing.
Corporate Strategy and Capital Markets
Minera Alamos repeatedly describes its strategy as aiming to become an Americas-focused gold producer by growing production at its operating assets and developing a pipeline of high-quality, low-capital-intensity projects. The company has highlighted several corporate initiatives, including:
- Completing the acquisition of the Pan Operating Complex in Nevada to add immediate production and cash flow.
- Advancing the Copperstone project through permitting, technical studies, and engineering work for a potential restart.
- Pursuing permitting and engineering at Cerro de Oro and maintaining permitted status at La Fortuna.
- Undertaking capital markets activities such as private placements, share consolidations, and applications related to stock exchange listings, as described in its news releases.
Minera Alamos has also reported on share capital changes, including a ten-to-one share consolidation and related adjustments to warrants and stock options, as well as private placements and debt settlements involving equity issuance.
